And the angel said unto them: Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. Luke 2:10

Hey there,
The joy and peace of Christmas has meant so much to me this year as I have experienced and witnessed countless miracles as a result of our epic worldwide trial. I know many of my friends and family are feeling the same way. How about you? Along with our challenges (physically, emotionally and spiritually) many of us have come to realize and appreciate our most precious blessings...those we love.
I had a fabulous time making several of these festive z-fold cards for friends and family this year. I sized a holiday wreath in Cricut design space to customize this fun Lori Whitlock pop-up box card svg. I chose this joyful, uplifting greeting and traditional icons to evoke the spirit and beauty of the season. I used the Cricut writing feature to write the sentiment on my panel.
Although my family can't celebrate in our customary way, I'm finding that Christmas movies, a colorfully lit tree full of treasured ornaments from years gone by and a blazing fireplace warming my husband and me as we snuggle in our quilts on the couch go a long way to ignite our Christmas spirits. Next year at this time, I'm sure we'll all have some inspiring tales of miracles, lessons and adventures, some of which will undoubtedly be much more amusing in hindsight!
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and bring some Christmas joy to someone whose spirit could use a lift.
Nancy
